    r/Stocks Daily Discussion & Technicals Tuesday - Apr 07, 2020

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 01:07 AM PDT

    This is the daily discussion, so anything stocks related is fine, but the theme for today is on technical analysis (TA), but if TA is not your thing then just ignore the theme and/or post your arguments against TA here and not in the current post.

    Some helpful day to day links, including news:


    Technical analysis (TA) uses historical price movements, real time data, indicators based on math and/or statistics, and charts; all of which help measure the trajectory of a security. TA can also be used to interpret the actions of other market participants and predict their actions.

    The main benefit to TA is that everything shows up in the price (commonly known as "priced in"): All news, investor sentiment, and changes to fundamentals are reflected in a security's price.

    TA can be useful on any timeframe, both short and long term.

    How messed up is our financial system that in the middle of a global pandemic we are only -5% from April of 2019?

    Seriously how rigged is our stock market. You're telling me people have the same confidence right now in our market as 1 year ago? Recession cancelled!

    I can control the stock market with only 2 ETF's

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 01:28 PM PDT

    I can control the entire stock market with only 2 ETF's.

    TQQQ and SQQQ. You might be wondering, how?

    Well it's simple. Every time I purchase TQQQ, the stock market immediately declines. Everytime I purchase SQQQ, the market inclines.

    It has become evident that I alone, can mitigate a stock market crash by purchasing at least 1 SQQQ a day. Unfortunately, I'll need some funding if I want to do that.

    No, don't ask me to do any favors for you. Just remember, when the mountain peaks or the valley bows, I have purchased a share.

    This rally is a mirage, we are only in the beginning stages of this recession

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 08:23 AM PDT

    TL;DR at the bottom

    Hi guys, with the market rallying 20% from its "bottom", many people are expressing the sentiment that we should buy back into the market again because the "fed" or the "government" won't allow stocks to crash.

    We will for sure see unprecedented actions taken by the fed and the government because they have both the motive and the political capital to enact such policies. However, I think this is a misguided reason to believe the market is currently making its "real" rally.

    I am not not a permabear nor am I a permabull. I just try to objectively analyze the facts, apply a healthy dose of margin of safety, and then see if my conclusions are actionable.

    For example, I posted my thesis on why we will enter a serious global economic downturn on Feb 9th 10 days before it happened. At the time we were at the height of the biggest bull market in our history, and I had gotten a lot of attacks on my thesis leading up to me consolidating my thoughts:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/f1fm6y/the_world_economy_will_enter_a_serious_downturn/

    I continued adding more thoughts on things like the potential efficacy of Chloroquine 2 weeks before Trump announced it in a press conference and the media picked up on it, the potential collapse of American oil producers before the price war happened, casinos going under, helicopter money, bailouts, etc all before they were announced or the markets priced them in here:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/China_Flu/comments/fede69/continued_thoughts_on_the_global_economic_impact/

    And finally I talked about an upcoming inflection point coincidentally moments before Trump first announced Chloroquine/Hydroxychloroquine and 2 trading days before the "bottom" of the market:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/fleh7e/incoming_inflection_point_for_general_market/

    So I'm perfectly happy to make bearish calls or bullish calls, they are dependent variables of independent and unbiased analysis. I hope I made a reasonable case for why I am not personally biased (although, for the sake of humanity, I do wish for progress and prosperity of course).

    I think the market rally is largely a mirage, and we are not getting correct pricings. The rally is probably driven by two main sources:

    • Capital displacement from monetary action

    • Incorrect earnings modeling based on improper historic precedent.

    So the capital displacement is relatively simple: If you're seeking shelter in "risk free" investments that has some yields, you're now competing with a buyer (federal reserve) that prints hundreds of billions up to whatever it wants. They're literally squeezing out capital from the finite treasuries.

    If you want riskier high quality corporate bonds, the fed will be there.

    If you want even equities, you're going to face competition for them in the future. At least that's what former chairwoman Jenet Yellen recently said about the possibility of expanding their powers to buy equities.

    So money is getting squeezed into a smaller and smaller relative portion of the financial markets, and the artificial demand is driving yields down and prices up. I could write a whole thread about this, but let's stick with the explanation of price movement.

    The second main reason for the recent rally is from institutional investors who are incorrectly modeling earnings/yield of equities. So the logic here is: trillions are injected into the economy (fiscal injections), those trillions will become earnings for companies at some multiplier of the original stimulus over x amount of time, and if we add this number to the unstimulated estimated earnings, we can model future earnings.

    My issue with this model, is on two main assumptions:

    The first assumption is the length of disruption caused by the threat of this virus.

    This virus is not going to stop its serious disruption of behavior from economic actors. Especially not in a country like the US where the majority of people have a massive financial disincentive to seek out healthcare. Here's my logic:

    For months I've been praising the governments and response of South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. With Taiwan being the absolute best at handling the virus. However, I have also been using them as my leading indicators for how the virus will progress and affect economic actors. What I have seen developing lately is not good.

    Singapore is now calling for a shutdown, after they initially did a herculean job of containing their outbreak. I had hoped that they would develop procedures (that we can copy) needed to run an open economy while the threat of the virus looms in the background. But that is not what has happened. Instead, we are seeing growing numbers of new clusters forming, and quickly getting out of control. They are tightening and shutting down their economy rather than opening up more. This is our leading indicator. A government far more responsible and effective than us is resorting to shutting down.

    Taiwan is faring better, but only because of their prohibitive ban on almost all foreign travelers (this is obviously devastating to their tourism sector and broader economy). Their economy and society remains open, with many if not most people having hardly any interruptions to their lives (aside from mask wearing). They are one of only 3 countries where all children are still going to school. However, even their economy is faltering as they try to balance the prohibitive actions needed to contain the virus and the economic need to keep things open. They are proposing an unprecedented stimulus/rescue package to bolster their economy. And I think it's a safe assumption that if they ever do open up to foreign travelers again, especially with covid19 having proliferated as it already has, then they will have to deal with massive outbreak clusters all over their island.

    South Korea, which has probably the relatable and relevant model for us to copy, has recently extended its social distance campaign. South Korea is a far larger nation than Singapore or Taiwan. They have a climate similar to Seattle/New York. They had a major outbreak in Deagu but didn't shut their country down. They never even banned Chinese travelers, yes, they had Chinese tourists in their country while the outbreak was happening. They were among the first to widely use Hydroxychloroquine/chloroquine as a treatment for Covid19. They had among the lowest fatality rates. They contained their outbreak without shutting the whole country down.

    Even South Korea can't truly return to normal and open their economy up.

    So why, in our incredible American exceptionalism hubris, and far less competent leaders, do we believe we're going to come anywhere close to normalcy in the near future?

    Let's look at the next assumption, that fiscal stimulus would end up as earnings for companies. There's no doubt some will end up as earnings, but only a small fraction of what is being modeled by those on Wall Street.

    The average American don't even have $1000 in emergency funds, do we expect them to return to their normal consumption habits when they risk having hospital bills multiples of $1000 just from walking past the wrong person? Do you think Americans, as much as they love to spend, aren't going to put some of that stimulus check in their emergency funds rather than contribute it to the earning of some companies? Sure, there will be some "forced" spending of the money (food and necessities), but if anyone is modeling the multiplier effect from previous data, then they really don't appreciate how different this virus makes things. Even in the GFC, laid off people didn't really worry about the heightened threat of being hospitalized.

    Finally, some investors believe the Fed and the government literally will do anything to keep the numbers up. If this is true, you should be buying silver (or gold), not stocks.

    Monetary actions can be reversed relatively easily. They are far more dynamic tools. Fiscal actions are not. You put money in the hands of spenders, that money is gonna circulate. And you really don't have an easy way of reversing that. If we think the government is going to keep handing out stimulus checks, grants to businesses, and other fiscal stimulus, then the inflation predicted from the GFC will come true for this crisis.

    The fall out of inflation will be difficult to truly understand. But I do think inflation will be disruptive enough to the economy that inflation hedge assets will outperform other assets at least in the short term. For example, if inflation goes to 5%, who's going to lend to companies for less than inflation? With costlier debt, equity yield goes down, and again, what investor wants yields less than inflation? Inflation is going to cause all kinds of disruptions. I think the disruptions will come down to less liquidity (credit will vanish with uncertain inflation) and higher economic friction (less efficiency).

    So if the response to why the market has to go up is continuous fiscal (and some monetary) actions to prop up spending and earnings, then the question is how will fiscal actions be reversed? How do we get that money out after things go back to "normal"?

    I think if we see equities rise from here, it'll be reflective of inflation rather than inflation-adjusted earnings. Silver would be the play here.

    I have a lot more thoughts on this, especially on the time it takes to turn the gears of the financial system and why the inertia is moving us deeper into global recession, not out of it, but I'm running out of time and must end here.

    TL;DR this is a fake rally, and if anyone really expects prices to continue rallying, buy silver instead

    BA announces that they are shutting down all production of airplanes - the stock jumps up 20% on the news yesterday.

    Is it worth investing in a market where this is a reality? Has this market exposed itself as a confidence game not tethered at all to reality or major company specific problems?

    Was reading about Zoom (ZM), it's a simple conferencing app that's worth more than General Motors or Ford. It's like a 1999 dot-com bubble stock. It's been banned by SpaceX and New York public schools over privacy concerns

    In broad strokes, why, just why?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 07:44 AM PDT

    It's my first post but i lurk all the investing subs for a couple years now.

    Maybe it will sound funny but I have a master in economics, i invest for the last year and I just don't understand what's going on.

    The economy halted, nobody is buying anything (no cars, no RE, no cinema, no cruise, no hotels, no softwares, not eating out, no travel, no new PC, no new TV etc). Companies are laying people left and right, downsizing their work force, they don't get their products from China, they are not selling anything (from services, to utilities, to products). Workers won't pay rent, will not be able to pay mortgage, debts will be pilling up,

    And then you have BA climbing +6%, hilton going up +7%, Sedg +9%, Planet fitness +8% etc. the stock market is green like a summer lawn.

    Did I miss anything? How can people invest into a company that is just closed for business for we don't know how long....

    There is so much uncertainty in the world and VIX is down 3 or $5. China is lying through the teeth, won't be able to ramp up production for the next months.

    And in the States everyone is happy with 1200 USD that will cover rent and food for one month.

    I know that nobody can time the market, time in the market is better than timing the market. DCA and ETFs are the way to go but why? Why everyone is so optimistic?

    If this is a bully rally then it is a very long one.

    PSA: Never hold any of these triple levered short etfs for a long period.

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 09:36 AM PDT

    They are built to go to zero. The market (QQQ) is still down 15% yet SQQQ is now lower than it's low in late February. They are fine for trading in and out of, but they will eat your lunch every time if you hold over a long duration. I've seen them thrown out as a hedge and it's awful advice unless for a quick trade.

    Have we reached an era where it's riskier NOT investing in the market?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 01:53 AM PDT

    I'm talking about the S&P, NASDAQ (indexes).

    It has become clear to me that governments now simply won't allow a market to behave naturally and are willing to do literally whatever it takes to keep the market propped up.

    Back in the day Presidents and the federal reserve would only intervene when things got dire, now it seems the first sign of panic in the market and the government swoops in with their freshly printed trillions to save it. They're not allowing the free market to behave freely.

    At this rate this crash / bear market will be over and done with in just 3 months which is absolutely extraordinary considering we're facing the worst global crisis since world war fucking 2!

    So even in the span of a few months you're already losing money by not investing... In the years before bear markets could easily last a year or two (2000 lasted 631 days, 2008 lasted 354 days) and this one is on track to recover in just 90 days... Fuck me we didn't even retest the lows... That is unheard of in a crash / bear market.

    I guess what I'm really saying is if you invest in the stock market (primarily the US market), the government won't allow you to lose money, even in the short term. So convince me not to remortgage my house and invest in the stock market? After all I have the support of the government who won't let me not make profit... So what's the catch?

    What do you exactly look at in Balance Sheets and Income Statments?

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 12:48 PM PDT

    Hi !

    So I am trying to analyse DAL vs Southwest

    So usually first I see the overall assets v.s. liabilities . I see both these airlines have greater assets than liabilites. So that's good !

    Secondly I look at the debt. Right now LUV is at 819,000 current debt and 1,846,000 long term debt. Hmmm

    Delta is at 2,287,000 current debt and 8,873,000 long term debt... Hmm so Delta doesn't look that good overall (Am I right??)

    In the income statement I look at Delta and they have been a positive profit the last few months so has Southwest. That's good news for now

    But what else should I be looking at?

    Dont fall for it, we still have difficult weeks ahead of us, even if the cases of the corna begin to slow down we still have not felt the consequences of this pandemic in the economy, its TOO early to tell.

    Long term will be ok, short term maybe its a good time to sell.

    Warning : Edward Jones

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 07:47 AM PDT

    I made the mistake of investing with Edward Jones. I had over 8K with them, over 6 years and I barley made over 1K. Their hidden fees are high especially when you go to sell. I finally decided to pull the plug today after realizing my 6 year mistake. I'm being charged $1,400 on fees on top of my loss due to the market being down. Any new investors that think going with a brokerage is the SAFER option, you're wrong.

    Today's Pre-Market Movers & News [Tuesday, April 7th, 2020]

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 05:34 AM PDT

    Good morning traders and investors of the r/stocks sub! Welcome to Tuesday. Here are your pre-market movers & news this AM-


    Today's Top Headlines for Tuesday, April 7th, 2020


    • Dow futures were pointing to an over 700-point gain at Tuesday's open a day after President Donald Trump expressed hope about research for treatment of the coronavirus. The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged more than 1,600 points, or 7.7%, to start the week as data showed signs of new U.S. cases slowing. However, it's too early to determine whether that's a trend. The S&P 500 jumped 7% on Monday. The Nasdaq rose 7.3%, bringing the index out of a bear market. But the Dow and S&P 500 remained in bear market territory — declines of at least 20% from 52-week highs. All three stock indexes hit all-time highs in February before states issued stay-at-home orders to fight the spread of the virus and the economy ground to a halt.

    • Trump, at Monday evening's White House coronavirus briefing, said, "There's tremendous light at the end of the tunnel." The president said 10 therapeutics are in active trials and some are looking "incredibly successful." Fifteen other potential treatments are "advancing rapidly" toward clinical trials, he added. Trump also said, "Stay inside and let's win this and let's get our country [back] as soon as we can. I think it's going to be sooner than people think. Things are going really well." However, at the same briefing, White House health advisor Dr. Anthony Fauci said the world may never get back to what it considered "normal" before the coronavirus emerged from Wuhan, China in December.

    • A warning in late January from White House trade advisor Peter Navarro about the potential severity of the coronavirus in America came as the president was publicly playing down the risks. According to The New York Times, Navarro wrote in memos that the outbreak could cost the U.S. trillions of dollars and put millions of Americans at risk of infection or death. Navarro is a leading hardliner in trade talks with China. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said another $1 trillion is needed, beyond the just-passed $2.2 trillion effort. The California Democrat wants another round of direct payments to Americans and more money for companies to keep making payroll. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has said in recent days that health care should top the list, signaling his intent to get to work on a new bill.

    • World leaders are rallying around U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, wishing him a speedy recovery from the coronavirus. On Monday evening, he was admitted to the intensive care unit at St. Thomas' Hospital in London after his symptoms worsened. Trump sent his best wishes, saying: "All Americans are praying for him, he's a friend of mine, he's a great gentleman and a great leader." Johnson announced on March 27 that he tested positive for the coronavirus. He was said to be suffering from "mild symptoms," but he was hospitalized Sunday evening and moved to the ICU a day later. Johnson's medical team said the prime minister was conscious and not on a ventilator. Johnson had asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to carry on the prime minister's duties "where necessary."

    • Britain's over 52,000 coronavirus cases are among the top 10 nations with the most infections, according to Johns Hopkins University data. However, with 5,385 deaths, the U.K.'s mortality rate was over 10%, second only to Italy's 12.5% death rate. Italy has the third most infections in the world at over 132,500 but the most deaths at 16,523. The U.S. has the most cases with more than 368,000. The death toll America rose to 10,993. New York state has the most U.S. cases, over 131,800, and the nation's most deaths, 4,758S. Global cases topped nearly 1.36 million with 75,944 deaths and over 265,500 recoveries.

    INVERSE ETFs. As I'm sure many of you looking at this post are in the same situation as I am. These past two days have took a tole on me as all my positions are inverse. I've taken all emotion and prediction out of judgement at this point, but how much longer are you willing to let it ride? Also, must factor in the possibility of a deal being reached on Thursday for aid to small businesses.

    Discussion welcome

    Are people buying oil in prep for Thursday’s OPEC meeting?

    Will OPEC meeting result in oil stocks going up? What do you think? Should we be buying oil now?

    Thoughts on AMD

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 09:21 AM PDT

    I bought AMD end of feb for $42.72 a share, currently up 20% at $49.41/share. Unsure whether to sell or hold at this point?

    Tl;Dr - Is AMD a hold or sell?

    Forecast for today, Tuesday 04/07

    Posted: 07 Apr 2020 05:35 AM PDT

    The bulls are back and the markets are soaring upward. After a couple of days of declines in new cases, optimism that the worse has passed is fueling the stock market. After yesterday's massive gains, futures are pointing to another spike in stock prices. The rally from the USA continued in Asia, as most Asian stocks were in the green. South Korea and Japan saw a 2% gain, while Chinese stock composites rose from 2 to 3%. Europe is also all green, with major indexes up around 3% as of 8 AM ET, when this article is being written. US futures were relatively stable during last night. But as the new day started, specifically from 1 30AM ET to 6 30AM ET, there was significant buying going on in the market. In this time frame the Dow futures gained over 4$ or over 1000 points. In the last hour and a half, the futures gave back some of these gains. I point out this move because it implies institutional buying which was apparent even yesterday in the last 30 minutes when buying volumes ticked up. The outbreak in Europe looks like it has passed its peak as more and more countries report declines in new cases. In the USA there is also a slowing down of new cases, as States report the similar or declining numbers for 3, 4 days now. At the same time President Trumps is talking about another stimulus package aimed at more cash payments to individuals, which could boost spending after the crises. It is still too early to speculate on this, since we haven't even received the first checks, but after you make that promise publicly it is hard to back pedal especially in an election year.

    For today's trade I recommend starting to shop around good companies like Boeing that have been pummeled to the ground by this crises and investing money in quality stocks. I would stay away from airlines, since we do not know what the Government's stake in those companies will be for the relief that they will get. Banks are also good investments, while Apple is a good technology stock. Good luck!
